      What kind of places are you people going to??? LOL. I can honestly say I only run across gross bathrooms once in a blue moon!

      Can't stand people who don't wipe the seats down or even flush everything away properly! As for the women who flush tampons down the loo - um....do you not have sanitary bins to put these in? Same goes for towels as well.

      Nothing about gay people in my sentence?

      I know, right? I thought it was just me... :huh:

      I absolutely hate it when women talk on the phone while in a public bathroom. Do it at home if you want. I think it's dumb when people walk into a restroom and proclaim: IT SMELLS IN HERE! I mean...duh. It's a bathroom. There are toilets in there. People poop in here too. And your point? Sometimes it can be overwhelming, yeah, but if you're so offended by it that you have to announce it each time then bring in a spray and go crazy. Ha.

      Passing gas in a restroom? I was always brought up with "As long as you're in the restroom, fire away, it's only impolite if you're in any other room of the house". No need to even excuse yourself.

      I just always have to fight the urge to snicker/giggle/laugh when I hear it in a public restroom because it's so echo-y (is that a word?). I hear, "PBBBFFFFFTTT!! PLOP! PLOP!", and I just about bust a gut trying to hold in the laughter. It reminds me of the scene in Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle when they are in the women's bathroom and the two blonde sorority girls come in and start making all kinds of noise.

      This sort of weirds me out, too. Same for people who sit right next to you in a nearly empty movie theater.

      or sits behind you and kicks your freaking seat!!! there are 1000 available seats PAL...

      Please, for the love of god, please think of the janitor when you're in the public restroom!

      We must smell everything! x_X

      Sorry, didn't mean to go off.

      Uh...Stop making sounds when you go do number two. o_o;

      I'd have to say, "Be grateful you don't live in a century which requires the use of a chamberpot or an outhouse. At least we have the luxury of flushing." (Although, some people don't have enough sense to take advantage of that luxury. :angry: :grumble: )

      How much of a buffer do you require beyond the walls of your stall? Assuming they give a courtesy flush when necessary.

      If it's a fairly empty bathroom, one stall buffer is sufficient. I understand at big events or a crowded place someone will be next to me. I'm fine with that. It's a bathroom after all. But when the place is empty...really? Right next to me?

      Do: Wash your hands.

      Don't: Talk to me.

      I also don't get why women feel the need to go to the bathroom in pairs, groups, etc. I have co workers that always want to go together. I'm always like - nope. I really don't want to go to the bathroom together and listen to each other's business - and then have you try to talk to me in the stall. Seriously - are they afraid they're gonna fall in and want support around? :huh:

      If you sat your *kitten* down in the FIRST place, there WOUDNT be any pee on the seat!!! Worse case scenario- you place your thighs on the same plastic as someone elses thighs. I've not heard yet of someone contracted some horrible disease from someone's THIGHS! You are more likely to catch something grabbing the door handle to leave with your now clean hands . . . .

      * post is not direct reply to quoted post. It is directed to those who #1 hover and pee on the seat, #2 don't wipe off their pee from the seat.

      shoot i hover and piss all over the seat...but I do wipe it off.

      Also, God created room deodorizer for a reason. Use it! I've called people out on not washing their hands, and they just turn to look at me and keep walking! One place I used to work had birthday parties, and the office manager didn't wash her hands (thankfully we were in the bathroom at the same time), then proceeded to cut the cake! That's what it takes to keep me from eating cake. :grumble:

      I once wrote a poem about a bathroom situation where the guy in the next stall (there were only two) kept grunting , groaning, and farting, as I was laughing at him I let out a wet fart, and then I finished first and came out of my stall. Went to wash my hands and this dude decides to come out of his ****-cave and lock eyes with me through the mirror.

      If you just crapped next to someone and you know they are out there washing their hands, you don't come out of your poop-portal and lock eyes with that person.
      After I made a swift exit from the bathroom I saw the guy like three more times...I think he was stalking me.

      When you and 3 others are drying/washing your hands. Woman 1 is done before you, tosses her towel ON THE FLOOR. Woman #2 leaves hers on the counter, and woman #3 CLEARLY missed the trashcan, SAW IT, and walked away.

      How hard is bending over? Unless you have a painful medical condition not ALLOWING YOU to bend over, or are in a wheel chair, PICK IT UP!

      How about people who pee ALL OVER THE SEAT and then just leave it like that - were they born in a barn or something?? If you sprinkle when you tinkle please be neat and wipe the seat!!!


      THIS THIS THIS!!!!!!!

      I hate it when they are on their phone talking....HELLO Hang up for 2 minutes, really!>! Ugh...So I flush once for me, and a few extras so the person on the other end of their phone knows what they are REALLY doing. :)

      Uggggh! That is my biggest pet peeve ever! I do the same thing you do! LOL

      Oh I have two more:

      I don't like it when my friend insists on going to the bathroom with me (not literally in the stall...more like women and going in groups thing). Then if she doesn't have to go she just stands there in front of my stall. It's a little weird for me and I always prefer to go by myself without company. The second thing is that this same friend doesn't wash her hands after using the bathroom. Grosses me out and I've mentioned it to her, but she said she doesn't think it's a big deal. Uhhhhh ew. Wash your hands ladies. EVERY TIME!

      WHAT IS BAD IS WHEN THEY ARE TALKING ON THEIR CELL PHONE WHEN THEY ARE IN THE BATHROOM. SOME THINGS CAN JUST WAIT.

      This article makes me laugh so hard I cry. Why yes, I do have a very juvenile sense of humor.

      This is a good topic:

      1. No one knows how to flush so it's there waiting for you!
      2. Boogers on the walls, piss on the rim, and garbage on the floor instead of in the trash
      3. Those who can't seem to find the energy to wash their hands afterwards and they look you right in the eyes and walk out, GROSS!
      4. Seeing kids crawling on the floor whether its under the stall or just on the floor period, that's the most disgusting thing parents!!!
      5. When some women take up all sinks and counter space to touch up makeup and get in the way of those actually trying to use the facility.
      :noway:
